Your stay at Finniss River Lodge includes two shared guided, on-property outings daily – early morning and afternoon to allow time to enjoy the Lodge and escape the heat in the middle of the day. The Territory is known for its distinctive wet and dry seasons however traditionally there can be six to thirteen seasonal changes throughout the year which makes for an ever-changing landscape and contributes to the uniqueness of each and every tour. At Finniss River Lodge we can take your requests and integrate them seamlessly into a range of exceptionally tailored shared experiences that are guaranteed to kindle all of your senses.
Tread a path amongst the five ecosystems with abundant opportunities to photograph and observe wildlife in their natural habitat. Walking trails are tailored to suit all abilities with shared tours being conducted in the cool early morning or late afternoons. The Lodge offers a number of short, leisurely walks under shaded canopies and for the more adventurous, half or full day treks through more remote and untouched areas of the property.
A truly unique station experience, Cows and Canapes is a perfect way to end the day. Sip sundowners in an open sided buggy or jump out and take a selfie with the curious Brahman cattle that surround you. Led by our local guides on a shared experience, learn about the family history and hear their stories.
Throughout your visit, our knowledgeable guides—some of whom have worked on the property with the family for years—are on hand to answer any questions about the operation of a remote cattle station. While we strive to offer an authentic station experience, cattle work is seasonal and may not always coincide with your stay, making each visit a distinct and memorable encounter with life on the land.
